alternatively get some 500 F caps to stick in your ass.

Just to be clear, are you asking for projects that will actually work, or effective covers for embezzling funds?

Where do I learn how to read this shit

>>1073240
Not that guy, but definitely picked up on his sarcasm.

>few components.

The point is that guitar effects circuits aren't simple, and require a lot of components, or else they sound like dogshit. This is especially true of solid state circuits, which are more susceptible to noise (even from themselves) than digital ones.

Also...FYI.. SS circuits require a SHIT TON of current... like... leathal doses... probably not something you want to fuck around with if you can't even read a schematic... but if you must it would be a good idea to buy a kit than go the homebrew route first try. They are all over the internets.

I'll answer your question tomorrow, too busy today, it'll probably take a good 15 minutes for me to write out everything you need to know

>>1072856
Is this a trick question? The answer is none. No curvature. The edges marked should be straight.

Why are you so fucking lazy?

Car port? bike shed?

>>1072841
Make benches or planters that match the aesthetic of the porch. If you or the wife is unsure about them, trim out the bottom of the bench/planter and do not connect it to the deck. Shazam, removable accents.

Why can't you just return the wood?

>>1072855
car port - can't; the access to the deck is ... "complicated"
bike shed - something to keep in mind

>>1072878
forgot to mention that the deck is on the north side of the house, on the west I have a forest (tall trees) plus it's covered by other trees - no sun whatsoever (good for wood longevity though)
I returned whatever was unused (sweet money), I have a lot of "end pieces"

basically, the question is not:
>what to do ON the porch?
but more like:
>what crazy stuff I can try with that wood (if I don't like it or I can't do it or it doesn't work then I don't feel bad for wasting money on materials)?

no matter what I'll end up doing, I'm sure most of the pleasure will be derived from making it not from using it

It all comes down to how good the canvas material is. I've seen them start to come apart in under a year. I buddy of mine got an old surplus GP Medium army test for $500 and that thing has been out in the weather for almost 15 years without a problem. They are 16x32 feet. There are smaller ones out there.

>>1072716
Seems like your buddy got a great deal for the GP Medium tent, can't seem to find them cheaper than $900 online.

The GP Small 17x17 is selling for about $500 which is still more than I'm willing to spend for a tent.

Thanks for your input, didn't know that some of these tents begin breaking down within a year.

Seems like a really good way to get your shit stolen.

ECC83s are called 12AX7 in the states.
You could make a preamplifier with these.
AZ41 are rectification tubes.
If you have 4 of them you could use them as a rectifier for said amp, why you would want to is beyond me.

The rest of the tubes are either too mangled to use or too manhandled to read on that image.
Post manufacturers and part numbers and i might look them up.

Otherwise just wire them and make a night light.

Here's a simplified drawing of what I have. It's actually 4 cylinders in a V configuration with 180° crank angles, but you get the idea.

What if I did something similar to a carburetor, minus the venturi?

>>1072117
better tolerances, polished surfaces, maybe make the rings out of some other plastic with less friction.

>>1072090
Looks like my old sings.
Should work better than anything short of an industrial that are sold nowadays.
I live in a city of 2 million.
Went to the largest fabric store, brought my stingray hides.
None of their machines could pierce it.
Singer I bought off fleabay for $50 does it all day long without issues.

$50 is a good deal if it works.

Dont use thin ass needles. That machine has a decent motor and will snap a needle pretty quickly.
Thick needles and keep them sharp.
To sharpen the needles when they get dull--
soda bottle cap
fill with 00 or finer steel wool so it mushrooms over the top about an inch
stretch a piece of junk fabric over the top and glue in place.
Poke the needle in and our about 15-20 times.

Seriously. When sewing anything thicker than 2 layers of cotton, use a tick sharp needle. Google is your friend.

>>1072090
I'd put my money on an old Singer over any older brand. That's a really basic machine and I wouldn't pay for than $50 for it in working condition. Maybe more if it has a nice cabinet. That said, Singers are cheap and better. Post your local Craig's List and I will look and see if there are any good ones in your area. What's your budget?

Living wise would suck for me 6'5" 250 lbs there would be so many places I couldn't go.

>>1071884
That's not how they are.
Friend has one, hardest part is fitting furniture and cabinets against curved walls

Awful for furniture

Velcro straps.

You are not gonna be able to hide them. Not with that desk design. The best you can do is make it look neat as fuck by bundling them. Unplug everything, then rerun the wires based on location and bundle along the way. No other option with that exposure.

>>1071776
Nice Blightsteel.

It's weatherstrip. You can buy some self adhesive stuff on amazon for pretty cheap.

For the hinge, just drill holes in the bent areas of one before you bend it, then just use a rod as a hinge.

That pair of magnets on the one you linked seems like a good idea as well.

Maybe offset the screw holes so you don't have screws meeting each other from both sides? Depends on door thickness and whatnot.

>>1071520
its too thick to set right

Needs sand don't remember the exact portions but it will prevent cracking during drying and when used on a funace also you need to dry something that thick very slowly

Ceramics major here; what these other good folk have said are true.
-Need to allow clay to dry slowly and evenly
. Clay bodies shrink as they dry, anywhere from 10-15% and probably more for native/raw clay.
-excessive thickness will create uneven drying, leading to cracks.
-Adding a grog-like material (such as silica sand) will give strength/structure to the clay, which is helpful when hand-building or firing in an environment which can induce higher amounts of thermal shock/stressors (such as raku)

But it's probably because you have uk English as your preferred language

Every property around me has at least one pond.
One thing they have in common, rickity docks.
If you just want like 2-3 years, wood supports will work.
If you want something that will last, do solotubes and concrete.

They're just cardboard tubes of various diameters and lengths that you can buy at home improvement stores (only one use).
Buy 4'x9" tubes
Dig hole.
Stick bottom of tube in it.
Level all tops of tubes to same height.
Fill with concrete (add reinforcement if you can).
Drill concrete for brackets after it cures or put anchors in before it sets (I put anchors in first).
